I don't buy it. Sounds like the story of every driver who hits a cyclist

A Camden County bicyclist was in critical condition today after colliding with a marked police vehicle overnight, officials said.

James Kershaw, 20, of Runnemede, had finished his work shift at UPS was returning home shortly after 2 a.m. today. He was riding his bicycle along the White Horse Pike in Lawnside when he apparently steered into the path of a westbound police SUV driven by Sgt. John Brown of the Stratford police, said Bill Shralow, spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's office.

Kershaw was taken to Cooper University Hospital in Camden where he was undergoing surgery today.

Its people in jersey everyone like to run bikes over/off the road when i got F ed up the cops actually locked my bike up in their station for me but that was Princeton not south jersey which is worst place ever

I was riding to the library the other day and a cop nearly pulled out in front of me. He slammed on his brakes as I dodged his bumper. Then the ******* follows me, gets on his loudspeaker and says, " you don't have reflectors on there." I stopped and we had a conversation about 1. my lights and 2. the fact that my bike was neither made nor bought after 1975 (after which reflectors are required by the statute.) Stupid son of a *****.

No matter how tired i am i don't fall asleep on a bicycle. If anything a ride invigorates me.

On the other hand, every single time a car hits a cyclist the driver of the car says he came out of nowhere, ie swerved into me. And the last time i looked when i was riding someplace i didn't do a whole lot of swerving.

yah and y'all be singing a different story when some soccer mom
in a SUV sideswipes you and you go crying to the cop taking an
accident report.

maybe but I am still doubtful whether the police conduct a totally impartial investigation in accidents involving the police. There was a case a few years back where the police killed someone in a car accident the UK. I was looking for the details on the net but couldnt find it but I remember they took the unusual step of refusing to take any witness statements from anyone at the crash scene.
